Lukas Foss and Emilio de' Cavalieri, 2023
This Week in Classical Music: August 14, 2023. Lukas Foss and Emilio de' Cavalieri. The richness and diversity of classical music is almost infinite. Of course, we’re not talking about the false, woke diversity of race and gender. We mean the diversity of sound, organized by composers of different eras into amazing combinations that we call “music,” combinations of the aural entities so different that composers of yesteryears would not even recognize the work of their followers as belonging to the same art (if they would consider it art at all). We, on the other hand, are lucky to have access to this enormous body of work and can enjoy music composed in the 15th century as much as music from half a millennium later. We have two composers this week, one born in the first half of the 20th century, and another – in the middle of the 15th. Lukas […]

Based on Victorien Sardou’s 1887 French-language play, Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca of 1900 is one opera that few directors choose to set in anything other than its original time and place. There are exceptions to this rule, but when all of the action can be linked to a real historical event on a precise date, there are certainly advantages to retaining the intended setting, and many risks associated with changing it. The entire story takes place during the afternoon, evening and early morning of 17 and 18 June 1800, following the Battle of Marengo between Napoleon’s army and Austrian forces. The Austrians were initially triumphant and sent news of victory back to Rome, but the city’s celebrations were cut short when a later report revealed that Napoleon had mustered reinforcements and inflicted a crushing defeat.
